COACH’S AS!
Bishop: We had a
good game plan
cuiupieie text oi North Brunswick football coach Uarry
Bishop’s interview with The State Port Pilot following the 43-14 win
against Lejeune on Friday:
■ I know you were not expecting a big win like this and had
expected it to be tough. Tell me what happened that helped put
your team ahead early on?
“I sure wasn’t. I was really surprised. I think the offense ran real
efficiently early. We knew some plays that we thought would work on
them the way they ran their defense, and they did. We had a good
game plan for them offensively. They didn’t stunt as much as I
thought they would and I thought that would give us some problems
because they can bring eight or nine guys, but they didn’t. They kind
of sat back, and we popped it through and we’re gone in the sec
ondary. You know, Pedie made some good runs.”
■ Pedie had four touches of the football and four touchdowns in
one stretch in the first half. Is this his best of the season?
“I think he had 240 at the half. You’ve got to give credit to the
offensive line, too. You can’t do it by yourself. The offensive line cre
ated some good holes for him.”
■ You were worried about the offensive line, too, with as many
injuries that you have at this point in the season.
“I was really worried. I was surprised. They were not as big as I
thought they were up front. But still, the young guys, they did what
they were supposed to do. I was really pleased with the effort that the
offensive line gave us tonight. Maybe we can get healthy for next
week and that will give us a little more depth now, knowing that
those guys have stepped in and played a full game and I can count on
them at anytime. I’m really pleased with the way the offensive line
played.”
■ On defense, you had a game plan that worked in stopping
running back Brandon Jackson. What did you design to keep him
in control?
‘They moved it a couple of times early. I think we had four or five
penalties early that gave them almost more yardage on penalties. We
can’t do that. The defense, when it had to, stuck in there. They faked
a punt on us early. I called that. I said, ‘They’re not going to fake it.
Fourth and 20.’ And they did. That was my fault. I was going for the
block and left a guy wide open. That kept the game close. They ended
up scoring after that.
“We shut him (Jackson) down. We had him keyed. We had poten
tially seven guys on the sweep because they ran the sweep last week
48 times against Topsail. At least we had that play stopped. And it
worked. We shut him down. I was pleased with it.”
■ Your team is first place in the conference now with a good
lead. The team must feel good about its position.
“We’ve still got to take it one game at a time. We’re 2-0 in the con
ference and we’ve got a tough one next week. Topsail always plays us
pretty tough, even when they’re down and we’re good. It was 20-0
last year. We only scored three times against them. They’re going to
be fired up. I’m looking forward to it. I know Ron Howard does a
good job with the players that he has. He doesn’t have a lot of talent
up there, but he gets a lot out of what he does have.
“Overall, I think we played a pretty good ball game. We ran the ball
well. We didn’t have to pass any. It was a good little game. I was sur
prised.”
■ You’re mixing up the offensive look with moving Braeden
Baldwin at quarterback on several series. Tell me what you’re
working on there.
“We’re getting some of the younger guys that we know we’re going
to have back next year some time this year so they will feel like they
are a part of the program. But also so we can stick them in there at
anytime, in case someone gets hurt we’ve got key people at each
position now that we know we can play and play effectively. And
Braeden’s one of them. We’ve got our backs moving to different posi
tions in case we keep getting hit with this injury bug we’ll have
everything covered.

tournament Saturday.
Murphy and Lineberger defeated
Harris and McDuffie of East Bladen
6-1.6-4 in the first round. In the sec
ond round they were defeated by
Moskow and Shelburne of
Whiteville. The pair then defeated
Russ and Register of South
Columbus 8-4 in the consolation
bracket.
That set up their match against
teammates Hilaman and Johnson,
who were number-two seeds for
South this season.
“At this point, the stakes are very
high," said coach Adams. “Whoever
wins automatically goes to the
regionals. Whoever loses still gets
to play another round and a chance
for the regionals.”
In the final round, Hilaman and
Johnson came up against number
two seeds Shirley and Parker of St.
Pauls and were defeated 8-4 in a
very tough match.
“I was proud of their efforts,” said
coach Adams. “Lisa and Heather are
sophomores and fierce competitors
when on the court. I expect to- see
two tough players the next two
years. They both have the skills to
compete as they proved during the
season in both singles and doubles.
But our next goal to work on is how
to win the big ones, and I know
either girl can get to that level with
determination, confidence and much
hard work.”
Hilaman and Johnson’s first draw
of the tournament was against the
number-one seeds, Sara Grove and
Reshema Changappa of Whiteville,
who won 6-1, 6-0. In the consola
tion bracket, the pair defeated

Honeycutt and Miller of West

against teammates Murphy and
Lineberger loomed ahead.

first-year tennis player and ended
the season at 3-5.”
Number-one seed Lindsey
Dishman for South had a tough first
draw against Elise Hewett of
Whiteviile, who won 6-3, 6-0.
However, Dishman played some of
her best tennis during the match,
said Adams. In the consolation
round, Dishman defeated Ashley
McDowell of South Columbus 8-0.
Lauren Winfree of West Brunswick
then defeated Dishman, 8-6, but
Dishman came from behind 5-2 to
make it a match. She missed out on
making the playoffs.
“Lindsey should be proud of her
two year accomplishments in tennis
and four year accomplishments as a
Sbuth Brunswick athlete,” said
Adams. “Lindsey is a fine example
of the women’s sports program at
South and is a great competitor.”
